So Im back in Colorado. We are about to start our second week of Outdoor Ed here at camp. we have groups of middle school kids come up for 2-5 days and we teach them, leadership, teambuilding, forect ecology, wetland ecology, mountaineering, native american and crafters. Our first week started a lil on the rough side, the the group was 7th graders, and they were "Too cool" for outdoor ed! Trust me, we put them in line with the teambuilding activities!





we have weekends off, as we work with schools. the two days off are nice, but i cant get too used to them as once summer gets into swing, its only one day a week! this weekend a few of us went into Boulder to hit REI for their big sale and then we hung out for a bit and then headed back up the mountain for the night.

there are 7 outdoor ed staff members, plus our diredtors and kitchen staff. I Have to say its fun, But i am excited for the rest of the summer staff to arrive after june 1st.

i also signed up for the BolderBoulder, a huge popular 10K race on mamorial day weekend! running 6.2 miles at 6,000 feet above sea leavel.. thats gonan one hell of a challange! Im doing it with two guys i work with at camp, so at least we'll have eachother. the day after the race I fly back up to Washington to visit friend and possibly climb Raineer. Three of my hjousemates are guides on the mountain for the summer so i will try to get on an expidition and make a summit attempt.
